Exclusive Original Paintings!

Original Art is a one-of-a-kind work by an artist. These include paintings (oil, acrylic, watercolor...), sculptures, drawings, etc., created by the artist’s own hand from their own unique thoughts and perspective and not replicated by a machine. Originals have an inherent exclusivity and are always more collectable, desirable and valuable than reproductions.
